Back in the day there were some BBSs dedicated to sobriety/recovery
from drugs and alcohol. There were also some message networks too. Are
there any still around? Or have they all migrated to the web?

Thanks!

seems like all BBSes today exist for nostalgic purposes. I don't know
if you could rely on them for something serious and well populated.
what about discord?

Thanks for the reply. I am not looking to rely on a BBS for sobriety.
You are correct, there are better places for that today.

There were BBSs dedicated to sobriety back in the day and wondered if
any are still around. I am interested in checking them out for
nostalgia purposes.

Back in the day there were enough systems and users in the scene that
for a BBS to thrive and attract users it _needed_ some sort of
topic/theme to set it apart.

Today there are so few users that themed BBS don’t really work, with
one big exception: retrocomputers. There are many that are dedicated
to (and run on) a particular old school computer.

Back in the day I remember one that was themed for that, but was a
long time ago.
